Anni
Crouter-Boggs, a resident of Flint, is receiving recognition for her
exceptional work by many respected groups throughout America. This past
year, Anni’s work was included in the 56th Annual Juried Exhibition of
Painters in Casien and Acrylic, Salmagundi Club, New York City. In
2006, she was accepted as a member of the “The Society of Animal
Artists,” and for a second time was selected as an artist for the
Society’s 51st Annual “Art and the Animal” Exhibition and Tour
(2009-2011).

Anni is also a member of Greater Flint Arts Council
and Flint Institute of Arts. Anni Crouter-Boggs starting painting
before she could read or write. The daughter, as well as a wife of a
local veterinarian, she has always been surrounded by animals. And so
it naturally followed that she would draw what she loved. This natural
ability caught notice by her mother and both her grandmothers, who
encouraged her to express herself.

It is only in the past
twelve years that Anni has taking her talent seriously. Like a phoenix,
rising out of the ashes, she has reinvented herself with her
introduction to watercolors. She credits her longtime mentor Jim Ames
A.W.S. with this revelation.

She has studied intensively
under his watchful tutelage, and her range is reflected in her work.
"For me, Jim pushes the envelope and allows me to develop as an artist
more than I ever thought possible," Crouter-Boggs said. She is focused
on both flora and fauna, and continues to receive the support of her
family.
